Sabina Beyli's 'Bad Habits' is a fierce, unflinching anthem for the beautifully flawed

Sabina Beyli doesn’t hold back; not in her voice, not in her songwriting, and certainly not in her emotions. With her new single 'Bad Habits', the 22-year-old alt-pop firebrand proves that honesty and vulnerability can hit harder than any guitar riff. It’s a track that snarls and sighs in equal measure, inviting us into the messy middle ground between growth and regression, where self-awareness doesn’t always mean self-control.

From the first rumble of pulsing piano before unleashing a roaring distorted guitar, 'Bad Habits' commands attention. Produced by Mike Midura and co-written with Kate J. Brink, the track conjures airy verses that give way to a thunderous chorus that feels like a confession shouted into the night. Beyli’s voice moves between intimacy and defiance, as she delivers lines that cut to the core of what it means to stumble, recover, and then stumble again.

Musically, the single hits that sweet spot between alt-rock bite and pop clarity. There’s a moody heaviness reminiscent of emotional intensity that nods to Evanescence, and a melodic directness in the spirit of Maggie Lindemann, yet Beyli carves out her own lane entirely. Her sound feels cinematic yet grounded, polished yet bleeding at the edges.

Lyrically, 'Bad Habits' captures that universal pull toward the familiar, even when the familiar hurts, and transforms it into a powerful anthem of self-acceptance. It’s the sound of a young artist turning pain into momentum.

With 'Bad Habits', Sabina Beyli unveils herself as someone confident, cathartic, and refreshingly raw, marking her as one of alt-pop’s most fearless new voices.
